| AllMusic |   [3] |
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The biggest news of this CD by trumpeter Jack Walrath is that Willie Nelson sings and plays guitar on two numbers: "I'm Sending You a Big Bouquet of Roses" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." The other selections feature Walrath (who composed all but the two Nelson features) with a larger group than normal; a septet ... As usual Walrath's music stretches the boundaries of hard bop without tossing away its roots". [3] The album was nominated for a Grammy. [4]
